Brake trains

First check the operation of automatic, and then electro-pneumatic brakes on the single track locomotives only check the automatic brakes. The brakes checked first step in authorizing the testimony of track lights when not needed a more efficient braking. The speed at the beginning of braking should be 50-60 km / h (or another set of local conditions, especially for passenger trains before their entry into dead-end station).

Brakes are released after reduction of the rate of 4 - 6 km / h in a freight train with the composition of the empty cars and 10 km / h for passenger and freight trains loaded. The trains of empty wagons long axes 400-480 faucet driver is kept in position lap during 8-10 pp. This overall decline in the rate attained in the empty trains during the holiday brakes must be not less than 10 km / h. Reduce speed to 10 km / h should occur at a distance established by local regulations, or in the course of time: on the court and descents up to 0,002 - less than 22 with the trains up to 200 axes and 32 - in trains 201-400 axes, on the slopes more than 0,002 to 0,004 - less than 25 s when the number of axes 200 and 40 - when the number of axes of 201-400 (when braking is performed on areas where there are no reference points).

Estimation of the time or distance trains reduce speed to 10 km / h is an indirect test of deceleration.

If the verification of the effect of inhibition is not received within 10 seconds, the passenger and 20-30 with a freight train, you immediately perform emergency braking.

In the United freight trains with the autonomous action of automatic brakes brake lines on the route in the presence of a synchronization system checked in the usual way, but in the absence of synchronizing crane driver of the first stage engine produces inhibition reduced the line pressure at 0,7-0,8 kgf/cm2.

After slowing down to 5 km / h or if
speed is not reduced, transferred command of the second locomotive of the train braking stage 0,6-0,7 kg/cm2. Automatic brakes are released after a decrease in speed of 10 km / h.

To check the brakes are permitted to use electric braking at the first point of departure from the platform, where a stop is scheduled, and the inhibition to approach the first platform, defined by the local 'instructions, or run at the approach to the signal requirements to reduce the speed.

Thus, to check the brakes after changing the control room allowed the locomotive crew, had made of the working cockpit check the brakes in the usual way.
